Banking and Reconcile

You can now match transactions that are up to 5% larger than the deposit amount from your bank and create more than one transaction to resolve match difference.

When splitting an expense transaction, you can mark it billable to more than one customer.

Don't like QuickBooks automatically matching transactions for you? You can now turn off Auto-recall for Bank Feed transactions.

Match split payroll payments from Payroll

If you’re using payroll, a split direct deposit for your employee will now show as separate transactions in the register and the downloaded banking transactions allowing both transactions to match directly.

With Cleared Date Intelligence,
Reconciling your bank account is smarter and easier than ever! If your account is connected to online banking, you'll see a Cleared Date column which comes from your bank and represents the date the transaction cleared the bank. You will be alerted when there are transaction date and transaction cleared date discrepancies so you can easily find problem transactions.

Hide empty payments table on Bank Deposit

Instead of always showing the "Select existing payments to add to this deposit" at the top of the Bank Deposit transaction, it will only be shown if there are payments or sales receipts in Undeposited Funds. This enhancement makes it easier for you to see the Bank Deposit transaction and efficiently enter data into the deposit screen.
